Employees and their supervisors are required to record/track CLPs in ACQTAS. Local training coordinators are responsible for monitoring compliance with Contract Administration training requirements for their activities.

The objective of the required training above is to provide diverse, well-rounded training for all employees, regardless of their current positions, for career development planning. Training should provide exposure to all facets of contracting, and help employees design Individual Development Plans to develop competencies beyond those required for their current jobs. In addition to enhancing career development, rotational assignments for contracting personnel (including interns) will ensure that employees are permanently assigned to positions that best utilize their skills.

Local training coordinators at each activity should be consulted for sources of approved contract administration training courses. Activities should review and redevelop the main focus of training each year based on employee capability assessments, Procurement Management Review findings, and Acquisition Integrity Dashboard results. DAU approved contract administration training courses are available on the DAU course website at https://learn.dau.mil/html/clc/Clc1.jsp?cl=. DAU equivalency courses from other DOD/federal agencies, civilian organizations and professional societies, and commercial vendors are available on the DAU website at http://www.dau.mil/learning/appg.aspx. Approved DLA Training Center (DTC) contract administration training courses are available on the DTC website at http://www.hr.dla.mil/resources/index.html under “Training.”
